To drive 30 miles...

[dorindasinger]

For a five guys? I'm really craving a five guys, said to my daughter we could go tomorrow night for dinner but she thinks driving 30 miles just for a five guys is ridiculous. I don't 😂. AIBU?

It's my time of the month and I also plan on starting healthy eating on Monday so I feel I'm having lots of unhealthy cravings the past few days.

no,
i would make a day of it

Christ. Can’t you see that it’s these sorts of decisions (I want it now!!) that are fuelling the climate crisis?
fuel clearly needs to double in price.

This has prompted me to google map Five Guys ….. 23 within 15 miles 😳🤣

fuel clearly needs to double in price.

But only for fast food addicts.

I had no idea there was one in Castlepoint! How exciting

Nobody's going to deliver fast food 30 miles away

If I want a burger you can double the price but I'm still going.

No single choice is feuling the climate crisis

the total miles you drive a year does matter
I seem to recall 5000 miles a year being seen as a useful target

My nearest is over two hours drive away! 30 mile round trip I would. 30 miles each way I wouldn’t.

I have lived all over uk, rural and urban, there is no way I would drive 30 miles for a flipping burger

Stay at home, make your own

Much like previous posters - I live in rural Somerset and regularly drive 30 miles for a Wagamamas, or to go clothes shopping. Go for it!

Ladygflumpet - that's crazy, surely there are closer noodle joints

+1. Tasteless and overpriced and greasy.
I'd rather have 3 maccy ds.

However, distance wise, sounds fine if there is nothing closer.

London - fifteen within 2.5 miles😊
Couple of branches that I walk past frequently - they don't look that amazing, what's so fabulous about them?
I do like the rosemary fries at Honest Burgers.

Nope. There are not. We also don't have taxis, phone reception, public transport or any sort of food delivery service. It's quite nice honestly, as it means there is still something special about getting fast food or going to a restaurant.

You're an adult so you can do what you like! I wouldn't personally, but you're not hurting anyone by doing it!

@LadyFlumpalot we do have phone reception, taxis, okayish public transport (buses are 2hrs and last is around 4 or 5pm) and only the local rubbish takeaway food delivery and we still don't have noodle bars or the like anywhere near us. Funny how people only see through their own experiences and don't believe things can be different for many others.

I'd drive 30m for five guys 😉

Sounds like fun outing for you and your daughter… I would do it! Not everything needs be logical.

I’d do it, have done a 50m round trip to visit a doughnut shop and it’s always worth it on a lazy Saturday as a treat. I think people forget not everything is on the doorstep or on delivery. I’m 5 miles for a McDonald’s but can’t get delivery from there and we don’t live rurally just the Welsh valleys. My nearest 5 guys is a 30m round trip to a city

Is that the one in Guildford? Go for it. It’s really nice. And you can potter round the shops when you’re there!

I live in Devon and drive 80 miles return for a good pizza.

Me and my friend did a 200 mile round trip to get Taco Bell on more than one occasion before they started popping up everywhere. This was pre-children for me I wouldn’t do it now I’m too tired, but I definitely don’t think YABU 😂

I would drive 500 miles and I would drive 500 more just to taste those sweet five guys burgers smothered in sauce..............
